How accomplished was your high school class?

[zippy]

My school newspaper has a Senior Issue. Seniors write where they think they'll be in 10 years, leave a will, and advice to underclassmen. Also in the Senior Issue is a listing of everyone that is graduating and what school they are going to.

How did you guys know what college your graduating class went?

they posted where you went in our cafe.

As for how accomplished, i could care less about my class. The top people were all snobby a$$holes, the bottom people made a mess of things in class, and the middle had no ambition. I like to laugh at the top people now though...they discovered life outside school and from what i hear, some are failing.

They post where you are attending? Isn't that suppose to be private? Maybe some don't want to reveal where they are attending for their own reasons.

WTF? I must have missed this? I have never seen a list that shows where your graduating class attends after graduation.

I dont see what the big deal is. Are you not proud that you are going someplace? Who cares? And why should you care what others think, you got into what you like. They dont have to live with it, you do. Sigh, anyway, I doubt its private, because what if someone needs to contact you after you have left?

Helena, MT. Class of about 400.
1 Duke (one of my best friends)
1 Yale
1 TUFTS
1 Gatech (me!)
1 NYU
Most others will attend UofM or MSU.

The thing I enjoyed most about my class was there weren't any elitist assholes, minus the kid going to NYU. We all know how to party, we all know what life is, and none of us are hugely rich, except the girl going to Yale, but she doesn't flaunt it.

i went to a boarding school in small town New hampsire (phillips exeter academy ). I graduated in 1998 with a total of 300 classmates. in the old days, my school was a feeder school to the Ivy Leagues, but not so much anymore.

my year, I counted around 100 to Ivy leagues, with 18 of them going to harvard. i got into cornell and decided to go to Johns Hopkins, so i didnt count myself.

alot of people think my school is full of pompous pricks. i think there may be more rich people than a normal public school, but i didnt see a higher percentage of asshole pricks. there were no trashy and punky people, but there was a fair share of druggies. A whole 1/3 (12 out of 36) of my dorm junior year were suspended for drug use one semester.

if you want to talk SAT scores. i got a 1500 and it was the lowest in my dorm of 10.

Im still friends with only a fwe poeple from highschool. i just missed my 5 year reunion a few weeks ago.

There were 1200 students in my graduating class, I have no idea where 99% of them went.

 

My high school class was pretty good. There were 89 kids who went to the U of M, and there were kids who went to:

Stanford (2)
Columbia (1, I think)
Brown (2)
Penn (1, I think)
Cornell (2, I think)
MIT (1, I think)
Colorado (1)
Yale (2, I think)
Harvard (1, I think)
UNC @ Chapel Hill (1)
Northwestern (2)
Duke (1)

School was in Ann Arbor, MI. Class of almost 700.

Update:

340 graduates
Neighbor is going to Stanford, applied to a good 20-30 schools. Bitch.
Dude in my neighborhood is going to the US Naval Academy. Not only did he get a full navy scholarship, but the USMC JROTC gave him 100,000. Bitch.
Star QB is going to Aurora, up in Illinois. lol waynes world lol
I'm going to Northeastern, up in Boston.
20 or so people are going to UF. 50-70 are going to UCF, USF, or UNF. About 1/2 of my class is staying home and going to community college.

Pretty crappy if you ask me, considering less than 5% of my class are going out of state. I'm wondering wtf kinda school kami333 goes to, shoot.

This year's class was pretty bad. Out of about 475:

1 Georgetown
1 Stanford
1 Berkeley
1 Reed
1 Rice
2 valedictorians to chapman
Pretty much the rest are going to either community college or state schools.
